Wen Jing secured the Law String Civilization’s knowledge after its leaders mistook her actions for a warning and voluntarily submitted. She then entered an industrial-era ruin, where machinery produced crude mechanical copies of her that she quickly destroyed.

• The Law String Civilization debated Wen Jing’s claims and deterrents, then chose to submit and sent a delegation carrying encrypted information.
• Wen Jing deciphered the civilization’s information carrier, causing delegations both in the Forging Alliance and at their home system to kneel and surrender their knowledge.
• Wen Jing reflected that Ancient Wilderness matter and human spiritual bodies blocked mental-power readings, then followed gravitational coordinates into an industrial-era ruin.
• Wen Jing found that her [Key of Tuning] could not reveal the machinery’s critical nodes and that her Energy Pulse could not damage the assembly lines.
• The ruin’s production lines built twelve mechanical insects modeled on Wen Jing, but she shattered them with Shockwave and absorbed their fragments without gaining nutrients.

Wen Jing discovered that the factory world adapted its mechanical enemies to her attacks, forcing her to retreat, and that entering it locked her physical growth. She found the restriction affected every clone that had entered the world and prevented attribute points from being transferred between them.

• Wen Jing saw the factory produce reinforced mechanical insects that resisted Shockwave, then used Energy Pulse to defeat them as she realized each batch adapted to her attacks.
• When Wen Jing tried to escape the swarm by moving through other areas, the production lines activated and created stronger, faster, flying enemies; she retreated to the material universe rather than keep feeding them.
• Wen Jing found that devouring resources in an asteroid belt no longer increased her attributes, and she traced the lock to the factory world's rules affecting clones that had entered it.
• Wen Jing tested her reconnaissance clone and confirmed that it was also locked, while the clone that had remained in the natural Ancient Wilderness could still grow.
• Wen Jing stopped her unaffected clone from touching the locked clones, then confirmed that attribute points could no longer be transferred between clones.

Wen Jing discovered that the factory world adapted its mechanical swarm to her attacks and devised a plan to overwhelm its production system by forcing it to create too many specialized models. She began testing the strategy, and the factory responded by producing insects with antifreeze coatings.

• Wen Jing returned to the factory world and found that its mechanical insects had grown stronger and continued multiplying while she was away.
• Wen Jing tested how the production lines responded to different attacks and determined that they created counter-models, stopped producing models she eliminated, and upgraded models she left untouched.
• Wen Jing realized she could exploit the swarm’s inability to synchronize by attacking every new model with a different ability and creating excessive, redundant production lines.
• Wen Jing targeted the [X-1.5.3] models with weakened Frost Vein Silk, immobilizing them at their joints.
• The factory produced [X-1.8.3] insects with matte antifreeze coatings in response to Wen Jing’s cold attack.

Wen Jing spent more than forty days fighting the Factory World’s evolving mechanical swarm, carefully creating new models while limiting their strength. As the newest machines grew harder to kill, an unexpected friendly-fire incident revealed a possible change in the battle.

• Wen Jing used varied combat techniques and traits to prompt the factory to produce many specialized robot models while keeping weaker versions in production.
• Wen Jing devoted her days to planning and her nights to fighting, eventually bringing her Reconnaissance Clone into the battle as the swarm’s strength increased.
• Wen Jing returned to find the Factory World crowded with three-digit model numbers and struggled to destroy the newest [X-17.9.56] before it could grow stronger.
• Wen Jing’s strongest clone fought the newest models while the Reconnaissance Clone gathered intelligence and encouraged the swarm to inflict friendly fire.
• One [X-17.9.57] knocked over three [X-8.3.11] models and triggered an explosion, drawing Wen Jing’s attention to the unusual incident.

Wen Jing used Banishment and Duel Invitation to protect the outdated mechanical models that sustained her production-line strategy as Factory World tried to eliminate them. The factory ultimately collapsed from within, and Wen Jing began devouring its blueprint core, gaining skill points rapidly.

• Wen Jing realized Factory World was using its newest models to eliminate outdated units, threatening the production-line strategy she had built over more than forty days.
• Wen Jing used Banishment to exile endangered models and Duel Invitation to redirect attacks and reduce damage, preserving the outdated units while the factory continued expanding its production lines.
• Wen Jing’s effort drove her computational workload and energy consumption higher as she used both traits across the battlefield.
• Just before daybreak, Factory World’s conveyors and production lines failed, and its mechanical units froze and crumbled into grit.
• Wen Jing saw that the world’s core was a blueprint, and the insect in her Mental Vision began devouring it, causing her skill points to rise rapidly.

After devouring the Factory World, Wen Jing gained the Standardization Meme trait and tested how it could spread her abilities to insect-shaped targets. She learned that infection depended on the target’s form, material, capabilities, and proximity, and began considering whether she could use living creatures such as the Krik People.

• Wen Jing returned to the material universe with 21,429 skill points, but still lacked enough to evolve her splitting ability or resurrect her teacher.
• Wen Jing tested Standardization Meme on stone sculptures and found that insect shapes with legs could be infected, while a humanoid statue and a limbless shape could not.
• Wen Jing added moving parts to the sculptures and discovered that infected traits worked only as strongly as the sculptures’ bodies allowed, with some effects damaging or destroying them.
• Wen Jing determined that infected bodies could carry multiple traits over time, but their abilities were limited by her own strength and by an aura that expanded around her and vanished beyond its range.
• Wen Jing considered producing controlled mechanical insect swarms and wondered whether she could infect living creatures such as the Krik People for use as a temporary army.

Wen Jing tested how [Standardization Meme] could infect living creatures and used it to build a rapidly expanding mechanical insect swarm, while studying Law String Civilization technology to improve the swarm’s control. More than thirty days later, her clone trapped in Spacetime Amber received a single frame of light from outside.

• Wen Jing discovered that [Standardization Meme] could infect Wilderness Beasts and giant insects, though the infected creatures did not obey her.
• Wen Jing’s sealed clone infected giant insects in Spacetime Amber with the traits it had retained, hoping they might break the seal.
• Wen Jing built and tested a mechanical insect production line that used infected traits for rapid gathering, processing, and combat, then reclaimed the swarm.
• Wen Jing identified the swarm’s weaknesses in control and durability and began studying Law String Civilization technology to improve its command system.
• After more than thirty days, Wen Jing’s sealed clone suddenly received a single frame of light from outside Spacetime Amber.

Wen Jing returned to the Law String Civilization after a breakthrough and decided to make contact with other Star Alliance civilizations. She arrived at the Stardust Vortex and met Set, who welcomed her on behalf of Axiom and learned that her research project had advanced.

• Wen Jing considered how infecting the giant worm might have loosened the Spacetime Amber's seal and continued studying the Law String Civilization's technology with her clones.
• Wen Jing concluded her technology had roughly reached level-two standards and decided to contact other Star Alliance civilizations.
• Wen Jing's strongest clone entered the Ancient Wilderness while her Reconnaissance Clone traveled to the Law String Civilization's home star system.
• The Law String Civilization reshaped nearby stardust into a crystal plain and sent Set, an avatar containing twenty-four consciousness crystals, to receive Wen Jing.
• Set explained that Analysis was on mandatory leave and asked whether Wen Jing's research project had achieved a breakthrough; Wen Jing confirmed that it had.

Wen Jing learned that the Law String People had turned work into their main source of fulfillment and were marching because some citizens had been denied overtime. She agreed to attend the Star Alliance’s Resonance Assembly, prompting excitement across the alliance.

• Wen Jing read the Law String citizens’ thoughts and saw them marching to demand equal overtime access.
• Assembly explained how the Law String People’s pursuit of happiness had led to a crisis, prompting laws that limited work and enforced vacations.
• Wen Jing deflected Assembly’s question about her civilization by asking whether the Law String People had faced a genuine threat before ascending.
• Assembly explained that the Star Alliance’s five other level-two civilizations had been pressuring the Law String Civilization to arrange contact with Wen Jing.
• Wen Jing asked when and where the Resonance Assembly would take place and agreed to attend.
• News of Wen Jing’s agreement energized the entire Star Alliance.

Wen Jing attended the Star Alliance’s Resonance Assembly in a personal capacity, rejecting the five civilizations’ attempt to establish diplomatic relations while secretly studying their technology. As the delegations began probing her credentials, a Source Fire Civilization scientist challenged her to explain how to extract signals from cosmic background noise, and Wen Jing interrupted their act.

• The Star Alliance’s five great civilizations built a venue near Law String Civilization territory and welcomed Wen Jing and the Law String delegation.
• Wen Jing refused to establish diplomatic relations, saying she attended only as an individual, and the civilizations redirected her toward their scientific exhibits.
• Wen Jing’s Reconnaissance Clone recorded and analyzed the exhibits while her other consciousnesses studied the technologies and theories.
• The representatives observed Wen Jing’s interests and increasingly probed her, suspecting she might be pretending to come from a level-three civilization.
• Black Hole of the Source Fire Civilization challenged Wen Jing to explain how to extract pure fluctuation signals from cosmic background noise, and Wen Jing interrupted the exchange through the Mental Link.

Wen Jing used her supernatural ability to amplify the zero-point fluctuation signal, convincing the Star Alliance's level-two civilizations that she came from a level-three civilization. The chapter ended with the civilizations eager to learn how she had done it, while she denied using technology and the Source Fire Civilization silenced the black hole.

• Wen Jing told the delegations they would have to measure the phenomenon themselves, since her civilization's laws forbade her from interfering in other civilizations' development.
• The Star Alliance prepared the multilayer spacetime-shielded stasis chamber to measure the zero-point energy spectrum, and the black hole confirmed that its equipment worked.
• Wen Jing activated Natural Lever on the experiment's core, magnifying the zero-point fluctuations until the detector displayed a clear, steady spectrum.
• The level-two civilizations compared the results with their existing measurements and recognized the data's immense value, concluding that Wen Jing could manipulate fundamental physics.
• The black hole asked Wen Jing what technological principle she had used, but she claimed she had merely amplified cosmic background radiation waves.
• The Source Fire Civilization's representatives pulled the black hole away and disabled his ability to communicate externally.

After gaining technology from five Star Alliance civilizations, Wen Jing spent four months studying it before entering the world behind a door connected to her Tactical Glasses. She found her room from her previous life, and her checks confirmed it was real rather than an illusion, though Mental Vision revealed no world core.

• The Star Alliance representatives concluded Wen Jing was an outlaw from a level-three civilization and eagerly gave her their civilizations’ information in hopes of gaining technological insight.
• Wen Jing studied the knowledge of five level-two civilizations and used their technological advantages to improve her mechanical swarm.
• After four months, Wen Jing judged the mechanical swarm combat framework complete and returned to the Ancient Wilderness to explore information-age ruins.
• Wen Jing opened an electronic lock by touching its fingerprint sensor and entered the room beyond the door.
• Wen Jing recognized the room as the one from her previous life, used Digestion to test for an illusion, and found that the room remained unchanged.
• Wen Jing confirmed her other consciousnesses were active and saw no world core with Mental Vision.

Wen Jing explored a room that resembled her home from her previous life and discovered that it made her think like an ordinary person without extraordinary powers. The room’s phone appeared functional through the Tactical Glasses, but she could not interact with its screen.

• Wen Jing examined the familiar room and realized its objects carried no precise personal memories and that the place felt unnaturally safe.
• Wen Jing tested the room’s belongings and found she could damage them only as an ordinary person could, while her extraordinary attacks had no effect.
• Wen Jing tried turning on the laptop and phone; the laptop remained broken, and the phone’s screen appeared white.
• Wen Jing took the Tactical Glasses from an empty case and saw the phone’s normal standby screen through them, though its text was blurred.
• Wen Jing tapped and swiped the phone, but the screen did not respond despite her ability to imitate a capacitive stylus.

Wen Jing saw a mysterious phone user reading reviews of a novel that appeared to describe her life, including details about the Prophet, Teacher Bai, and her genetic collapse. She considered whether the reviews came from the ruin, another dimension, or real authors and readers, then memorized them as potential intelligence.

• Wen Jing watched an unseen person order a McDonald's breakfast meal and open a reading app on the mirrored phone.
• Wen Jing read reviews identifying the Prophet as responsible for Teacher Bai's mother's genetic collapse and suggesting Wen Jing was the novel's female lead.
• Wen Jing considered three explanations for the reviews: the ruin was reconstructing her memories, the phone showed a coincidental work from another dimension, or authors and readers truly existed.
• Wen Jing analyzed the mysterious reader's attention and noticed reviews claiming the Prophet had ordered several people killed and caused Wen Jing's earlier genetic collapse.

Wen Jing identified the mysterious phone user as Meng□□, the author of her novel, and began studying her behavior for clues about the author’s motives. She discovered that the ruin’s world core was the information window on the phone, but chose to postpone devouring it while she continued observing Meng□□.

• Wen Jing recognized that Meng□□ was the author after watching her react to reviews about Dean Bai and the novel’s formulaic plot.
• Meng□□ abandoned the reading app after a negative review and scrolled through short videos, leading Wen Jing to suspect she was easily distracted rather than a powerful, deliberate author.
• Wen Jing used Mental Vision to find the ruin’s world core in the phone’s information window and confirmed she could devour it, though doing so caused static pixels to appear on the screen.
• Wen Jing decided to keep observing instead of devouring the core, since she might lose access to the unusual information it provided.
• Meng□□ watched an erotic comic and then opened a sudoku game, leaving Wen Jing wondering when she would write her novel.

Wen Jing watched Meng□□’s phone use and concluded that the novel’s reviews might reveal a way to resurrect her teacher. After leaving a message for possible readers beyond the fourth wall, she waited to see whether the novel would describe her discovery and expose who was truly writing her life.

• Wen Jing observed Meng□□ browse reviews, play sudoku, and eventually go to sleep, while the laptop stayed dark.
• Wen Jing studied Star Alliance knowledge as she waited, then saw Meng□□ return to her phone at 5:32 in the afternoon.
• When she reappeared at six the next morning, Wen Jing read reviews on chapter 171 and inferred that Xie Ming had acted against the Prophet, likely through the Ten Star Group.
• A reader’s comment asked whether setting things right could resurrect Teacher, giving Wen Jing hope that the ruin might hold a way to bring her teacher back.
• After Meng□□ closed the review app, Wen Jing spoke in Huaxia and left a message for possible readers, planning to judge whether the novel described her discovery and whether Meng□□ was only a projection of the real author.

Wen Jing endured the slow updates while studying Star Alliance technology and resisting the phone’s distracting influence, waiting for the novel’s timeline to catch up with her reality. Her reconnaissance clone then arrived at the Phase Creation Civilization, the Star Alliance’s founder.

• Wen Jing waited through Meng□□’s irregular updates and used her time to study Star Alliance technology, though phone content repeatedly distracted her.
• Wen Jing reassured herself that waiting could help her resurrect her teacher and that she could devour the exposed world core if necessary.
• Wen Jing’s reconnaissance clone appeared at the Phase Creation Civilization, a nomadic civilization that had discovered other peoples across the cosmos.
• Wen Jing learned that the Phase Creation Civilization had built wormhole stargates spanning up to a hundred thousand light-years, forming the Star Alliance’s cosmic highway network.

Wen Jing learned how the Phase Creation Civilization had split from Changheng after a dispute over whether to resist or embrace other cultures. She discovered that Changheng’s civil war had destroyed the Weavers Civilization, whose surviving legacy the Phase Creation Civilization had commemorated and scattered across the universe.

• The Phase Creation Civilization told Wen Jing that its probe had received an intelligible echo from a civilization more advanced than itself, which it identified as its former parent civilization, Changheng.
• The Phase Creation leader explained that Changheng had divided into the Purity Faction, which rejected foreign cultural influence, and the Inclusivity Faction, which accepted it as a source of progress.
• The leader said a Purity Faction border guard destroyed a lower-level gaseous civilization, triggering a civil war that ended with the Inclusivity Faction breaking away to become the Phase Creation Civilization.
• Wen Jing recognized the extinct Weavers Civilization’s art in a relic and learned that the Phase Creation Civilization had scattered such memorials through the universe since its independence.

The Purity Faction attacked the Phase Creation Civilization with technology that weakened the strong nuclear force, trapping Wen Jing and the Phase Creation leader in a disintegrating chamber. Wen Jing saved the leader, but the enemy’s reinforcements arrived as the battle escalated.

• The Phase Creation leader warned Wen Jing that the Purity Faction would trace their detection pulse and likely attack, while Wen Jing struggled with whether to act or let events follow the story’s apparent plot.
• The Purity Faction launched a rule-distortion attack that weakened the strong nuclear force around the meeting chamber, causing matter and the Phase Creation leader’s body to disintegrate.
• The Phase Creation Civilization tried to stabilize reality and strike the enemy’s energy towers, but its attacks were absorbed and its technology proved far behind the Purity Faction’s.
• The Phase Creation leader appeared to survive because Wen Jing used level-three civilization technology to protect them.
• Additional Purity Faction energy towers and warships arrived across the surrounding star field.

Wen Jing realized that the world was suppressing her thinking and that information from the book had trapped her Strongest Clone in a cognitive virus. The Reconnaissance Clone pushed toward the phone’s world core to devour it and free the Strongest Clone.

• The Phase Creation Civilization prepared for war while the Purity Faction targeted the Atom Controller’s reconnaissance craft, and Wen Jing resolved not to stake her teacher’s resurrection on an uncertain possibility.
• The Devouring Clone returned to the Wilderness Body, while the Reconnaissance Clone entered the home world and found the Strongest Clone bound inside an information-thread cocoon around a phone.
• Wen Jing realized that the world’s rules had suppressed both clones’ thinking, preventing them from coordinating their Multiple Consciousnesses properly.
• The Reconnaissance Clone saw that the phone contained the world core and charged toward it, but book comments poured into her consciousness and froze her in midair.
• The Devouring Clone’s will drove the Reconnaissance Clone forward as Wen Jing recognized the information threads as a cognitive virus that had spread through her clones.

Wen Jing resisted the cognitive haze by trusting herself and sent her Reconnaissance Clone to devour the information window, while her Devouring Clone escaped the Purity Faction’s distortion field with the Phase Creation leader. She left the attackers behind and appeared at the Purity Faction’s capital, triggering its highest-level invasion alert.

• Wen Jing set a one-hour self-destruct limit and had her Reconnaissance Clone devour the information window as the Strongest Clone fought off the cognitive haze.
• The Devouring Clone endured the Purity Faction’s strong-force distortion field until the fleet abandoned capture and fired a kinetic projectile at her.
• Wen Jing traced a door inside the distortion field and used its doorknob to escape with the Phase Creation leader, discovering that the route reached another territory.
• Wen Jing and the Phase Creation leader appeared at the Changheng Purity Faction’s capital, setting off the civilization’s highest-level invasion alert.
• The Purity Faction’s expeditionary commander learned that Wen Jing had jumped 130,000 light-years and breached the capital’s defenses.

Wen Jing invaded the Boundary-Breaking Empire’s homeworld, absorbed its energy attacks, and dismantled Hengshou Tower before surviving a powerful spacetime strike. She began producing mechanical insects from the tower’s material, and the Empire struggled to destroy the growing swarm.

• Wen Jing arrived on the Boundary-Breaking Empire’s homeworld, where the Purity Faction evacuated nearby Changheng people as she surveyed their civilization.
• The Boundary-Breaking Empire’s Supreme Council ordered attacks on Wen Jing, but her body absorbed the particle beams and regenerated as she headed toward Hengshou Tower.
• Wen Jing dissolved Hengshou Tower, prompting the Empire to strike the site with Spacetime Ripple and reduce it to ruins.
• Mechanical insects emerged from the ruins, and the Empire’s analysts mistook them for primitive ground units made from the tower’s material.
• The Empire attacked the insects with directed-energy beams, but many survived and burrowed into cover, while more insects crawled from the ruins.

Wen Jing’s mechanical insect swarm multiplied across the Changheng homeworld, adapting to the empire’s attacks and escaping its spacetime solidification field. The swarm then pursued the evacuating fleet and bypassed its defenses, leaving the Boundary-Breaking Empire under attack.

• Wen Jing’s production insects multiplied underground while guard insects drew fire, and the swarm survived repeated bombardments as its numbers and abilities grew.
• The command center failed to find an energy source or decipher the swarm’s network, then ordered an evacuation and activated a regional spacetime solidification field.
• Wen Jing gathered the insects into giant forms and pursued the evacuation ships, but the swarm leaped beyond the field just before it closed.
• The Boundary-Breaking Empire’s warships attacked with kinetic projectiles, plasma spears, and repulsion fields, but the swarm absorbed the projectiles, evaded attacks with Phase Jump, and crossed the defenses.
• The mechanical insects reappeared beside the warships and began striking the nearest hull.

Wen Jing used her new S-rank [Information Touch] trait to stop the Boundary-Breaking Empire's escaping warships by suppressing the function of their warp engines. She began adjusting to the trait's overwhelming flow of information and recognized that its range depended on how much information she could process.

• The Boundary-Breaking Empire ordered its fleets to scatter and flee, while some ships sacrificed themselves to delay the mechanical swarm.
• Wen Jing captured nine warships and their crews, preserving the ships' valuable internal technology and leaving the crews under the [Intoxication] trait.
• With eight minutes left before the Ancient Wilderness world self-destructed, Wen Jing's clones devoured nearly all of its world core and obtained [Information Touch].
• Wen Jing used [Information Touch] to suppress the function of the fleeing warships' warp engines, leaving them unable to jump away.
• Wen Jing adjusted to the new trait's vast information flow and realized its range depended on her ability to process information; the Tactical Glasses had disappeared when she devoured the world core.

Wen Jing discovered that Information Touch could suppress states and temporarily elevate her traits, then helped the Phase Creation Civilization recover the battlefield and accept the Boundary-Breaking Empire’s surrender. She spent all her skill points evolving a defense for her mind and consciousness, and fell into a profound state as the evolution began.

• Wen Jing used Information Touch to suppress the Phase Creation leader’s injuries and temporarily elevate Gravity Silk Gland III, pulling fifteen disabled evacuation warships back to the battlefield.
• Wen Jing opened a spatial gate for the Phase Creation Civilization’s fleet, left them to treat their leader and clean up the battlefield, then departed with her three clones.
• The Phase Creation Civilization analyzed the abandoned mechanical swarms and met the Boundary-Breaking Empire’s people, who learned they could surrender.
• Wen Jing traveled to a secluded asteroid belt and ordered her panel to evolve an ability that would protect her mind and consciousness from supernatural interference.
• Wen Jing spent all 94,642 skill points and felt her consciousness fall into a deep, all-encompassing place.
